About web design and php

Question

Do we always write database configuration as:
$dbOptions = array(
'db_host' => 'localhost',
'db_user' => 'username',
'db_pass' => 'password',
'db_name' => 'chat'
);
Are the values in '' always same?
If not then pls tell me about each value.
And 'chat' is name of my database.
Are my values correct?

Answer 1

Yes.
db_host is your server host - which is you have mentioned here as localhost
db_user is a username which you have provided at the time of your sql / mysql setup
e.g. in phpmyadmin the common username is root
db_pass is like above, is a password which you have provided at the time of your database setup (Note: if u provide blank password at that time, it should be blank here also)
db_name' is your database name - which is chat here and that is correct.

Answer 2

If you are using xampp you can find it in xampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc
open the file in text editor and you will see array of " $cfg['servers']", it's right there .
like this - $cfg['servers'][$i]['user']
same for password $cfg['servers'][$i]['password']
